Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If your chicken breast is not already cooked, cook and shred it. Cook the bacon until crispy and crumble it.

Using a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken can save a significant amount of prep time.📌

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, dry ranch seasoning mix, and milk. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumps in the mixture.📌

Add the shredded cooked chicken breast, half of the crumbled bacon, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Mix everything together until evenly distributed.

Reserve some bacon and cheese for topping later to add extra crispiness and flavor.📌

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread half of the frozen tater tots evenly across the bottom of the dish.

A non-stick spray works well for greasing the dish.📌

Evenly spread the chicken and cream cheese mixture over the layer of tater tots in the baking dish.

Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly for consistent cooking.📌

Top the chicken mixture with the remaining frozen tater tots, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Arranging the tater tots in a single layer on top will help them get crispy.📌

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly around the edges and the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

If the cheese starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil.📌
